Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
There is no potential for persistence of Betaines, C12-14 (even numbered)-alkyldimethyl in the aquatic environment and no exposure to sediment is expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, section 9.1, long-term toxicity testing shall only be proposed if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on aquatic organisms. Following the test on ready biodegradability Betaines, C12-14 (even numbered)-alkyldimethyl is readily biodegradable and rapidly degraded by microbially induced processes in water/sediment tests. Due to the readily biodegradability and the low adsorption potential to sediment (Kow = -0.4) it is not likely that they can be found in the aquatic environment and sediment in high concentrations. In summary, there is no potential for persistence of alkyl dimethyl betaines in the aquatic environment and no exposure to sediment is expected.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
